JAKARTA - The U-23 vs Tira Persikabo national team match was canceled. The reason is that the match permit is too tight with the match schedule.
Head of Public Relations of Regional Police Metro Jaya Kombes Yusri Yunus said that the permit from PSSI only entered on Wednesday, March 3 morning. Even though in the afternoon the U-23 vs Tira Persikabo national team match will be held.
“The PSSI committee has submitted the permit, but, unfortunately, the permit has only arrived in the morning, the match in the afternoon. Meanwhile, the provisions have to look at the limit of the permit because in Jakarta it is still PPKM (Enforcement of Restrictions on Community Activities). The spread of COVID is still very high, which requires 5 billion to be carried out, including the occurrence of crowds that must be avoided so that we postpone the football match yesterday", said Yusri to reporters, Thursday, March 4.
Yusri emphasized that Regional Police Metro Jaya supports Indonesian football, including the permit that has been given by the Police for the Indonesian League match.
However, the status of Jakarta, which is still enforced by PPKM, requires that the implementation of health protocols be carried out according to regulations.
"PPKM on a micro-scale is an activity that gathers many people, it is limited and not allowed, so of course including League One and the Menpora Cup are the only ones that are allowed", he continued.
Also, Yusri said that the application for a permit according to the provisions must be submitted D-7 for the event. Currently, the affairs of the event must be coordinated with the COVID-19 Task Force.
“Yesterday's activity was delayed because there was a missed, indeed the permit report was received by Regional Police Metro Jaya this morning while playing in the afternoon. We also hope that the organizers must continue to involve the COVID-19 Task Force. But the point is that the police support the progress of Indonesian football but pay attention to the conditions of PPKM", said Yusri.
